I have a 2 week old 1.8T (163).
I'm getting a strange noise when accelerating. When approaching 3k revs with the throttle a fair way in (not floored mind), I can detect a high-ish pitched blow/hum which seems to be coming from the right of the engine/dash. Certainly doesn't sound like turbo whistle (btw - haven't heard any on the 1.8T - although I've had plenty of whistles from a 2.5TDI!), and could almost be described as a metallic sound.
Just for info - I'm still running the car in, just less than 600 miles, no revs > 4k and haven't floored it.
Any ideas before I go and pester the dealer??
And another one. At about 5mph after starting up, there is a 'knock' from the underside of the car. Is this the ABS pump?
Thanks,
Nick.
